Default Bullet formatting

One way is to insert the paragraph marks before inserting bullets. After
hitting the enter key several times to create the paragraph marks, go to
first paragraph mark and create bullet, go to paragraph mark below and create
text, next paragraph mark create bullet, next text, etc.

I think what i want to do is simple but i cant figure it out.

Im just looking to do a bullet list with the details about the bullet right
bellow it like so.
-bullet text1
text about bullet
-bullet level2
level2 text
-bullet text2
text about it

etc etc... everything i do to make that line of text breaks the bullets and
puts a huge gap between the bullets..

Default Bullet formatting

It would be easier to make use of styles (at least if you are creating something more than a quick throw-away document). I'd apply a bulleted style to the bulleted paragraphs and a style with a left indent to the "text-only" paragraphs. There are built-in styles (List Bullet and List Continue) that you can modify to suit your needs.

See also http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bull...olbullets.html which describes the particular steps for Word 2003 (but the principles remain the same in Word 2007).
